PC gamers are right up there with CrossFit folks and vegans. For the record, the answer to every minor criticism of something console-related is not actually “just get a pc and then you can [insert thing.]” It really, really isn’t. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Yet another helpful explainer to counter the ignorant disinformation spouted by the unqualified extremist who is currently destroying the HHS

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Dear everyone who makes take-and-bake deli pizza: Can we go back to putting the oven temp on the top? That would be cool, thanks.

So seldom is there a story about Musk that bothers to mention the fact that DOGE is an fake agency, it has no legitimate claim to power, and thus it has no real head, every act it undertakes is automatically illegal and corrupt, and all of its "employees" are criminals.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

It never fails—grabbing two things for a theme day at the store and the person in front of me needs 85 separate weird things. *sigh*

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Governor Landry is expecting low very turnout tomorrow. I hope he has a disappointing day. Louisiana, go vote tomorrow! The future of our state is worth 5 minutes of your time. Plus you get a cool sticker.

@schumer.senate.gov Okay but seriously. This is not a lesser-of-two-evils situation, sir. Your sole weapon is the filibuster. Use it. Make Trump and his feckless stooges own their terrible CR. Have a freaking spine. Stand up for the American people, esp those of us with terrible senators. Do right!

You know what to do, internet! 😁😁😁

Dear Congressional Democrats & specifically @schumer.senate.gov : you need to absolutely hold the line on the CR. Not a single “yes” vote; not a single compromise. Put the spotlight where it belongs—on the GOP’s cowering to Trump & Musk. Force them to face the music of their own debacle. Stand up!

Every single headline that discusses Trump trying to eliminate things illegally with EO’s that doesn’t include that illegality in said headline is a failure of journalism to the truth.

Dear Apple Music, STOP changing the Radio landing page to remove my recently listened to stations!! I do not want the interview list. I do not want the shows list. I want my recently listened to stations. Every single time. Stop messing with it. Thank you.

Apparently a lot of people need to hear this, but: Elon Musk doesn’t actually have any power or authority. You don’t have to let him in the building. You don’t have to do anything he says. If he says, “well we’re going to [insert terrible, idiotic idea],” you can just say, “no, we’re not.”

This is the full spectrum of Special Education, folks—from students with significant learning struggles to students in gifted and talented programs.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Even if you don’t think your person cares (and boy do I know that think), send it anyway. Make them see the numbers.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Listen. Just because somebody says to do a thing, you don’t actually have to do it. And if they ultimately make you do it, you can do it however you want. Let a toddler inspire you. Make your compliance as petty and malicious as possible. You can do that. Just, you know, in case you were wondering.

Educators using AI need to consider the political implications of participating in the future imagined by the tech bros who are taking over our government.

Dear every company: STOP SHOVING YOU’RE DUMB LLMs INTO EVERY SINGLE THING. Stop it. You aren’t going to make your money back, and every one of your LLMs is a big, ole idiot. Stop. STOP. *stomps off*

A strong general belief of mine is that we only know the character of an age in retrospect, and so I'm going to keep my powder dry about what The Problem With The Age is. I think a big general problem right now though is that people really want the world to be doomed and insane.

All right. Somebody who has the power needs to get on this: we need a Sara Bareilles and Rufus Wainwright fiesta album stat.

Okay. I have one exception to my “nobody needs any of those big ass trucks” rule: if you use it to let people out when other people are being exit-blocking assholes, you can have a too-big-of truck. I’ll allow it.

So I’ve sold a variety of things online via the book site. And yet. Every single time I spend an irrational amount of time the next few days worrying the person who bought it will realize it wasn’t what they were actually looking for. Why do I worry about this? I would like to not worry about this.

My m-i-l has _Naked and Afraid_ playing on the tv, and all I can wonder is what do the release documents for these contestants look like? Because this seems like How to Get Every Disease and Also Injured 101! 😬

Today is the first day of school. 1) it weirdly does not feel like the first day of school & I feel very “eh” and 2) I totally thought these shoes matched my dress & THEY DO NOT. Also they’re squeaky. It’s going to be an awesome day.

You know, I know that sometimes a cat’s got to throw up, apparently, but does it really have to be right after I got settled in a nice bubble bath and my husband has fallen dead asleep? Does it?

The amount of people who sell furniture on FB Marketplace with no dimensions in the listing is boggling to me. Are people out there really buying used furniture without knowing that it fits? Just willy nilly like that?

I put off watching the last episode of Ted Lasso for so long…now I’m 15 minutes and bawling. Cool cool cool.
